  1. Seriously, my sympathies are totally with the people of Flint, Michigan. I’ve been to that city. It is largely blue collar working class people making it paycheck to paycheck if they are lucky. There is no “surplus” for situations like this. And they are right. If they were deep pockets, this situation would never have reached the depths it has hit. My best wishes for them!

  2. The water crisis in Flint is a public health nightmare, caused by the “bottom line” mentality of the republican leaders. “Lead contamination be damned, it’s cheaper.”

  3. Polite Kool Marxist says:

    Time for the oligarchs and plutocrats to send some of their Cayman coin to bail out their pal, Snyder. Once again the “penny wise, pound foolish” playtime snacilbupeR ‘fiscal conservatives’ demolish lives to save a dime only to discover their latest debacle will cost $millions for many decades.

    Sort of like that Cheney “plan” where Iraqi oil would finance that 3-6 month stroll of friendship.

  4. This is what happens when you try to run government like a business. A business’ top priority is profit. If this means scuttling a group of customers who aren’t ponying up the desired profit, that’s a business decision.

    Of course, that means that a business-style government will scuttle its poorer citizens simply because they don’t have enough money to afford government.

    As we just saw in Flint.

    Personally, I think this is criminal and that the people who are responsible for this debacle and its aftermath, hundreds or thousands of people poisoned with life-long health issues, should be held to account. It took far too long for the authorities to admit that the people were being poisoned, thus making the situation so much worse. Snyder needs to fired!

  6. speaking as an environmental engineer i expect all of the political decision makers to walk on this fiasco

  7. The no-tax crowd won’t be happy till our public utilities are on par with those of the poorest village in 19th-century India.

    Get out the barf bags. http://conservatives4palin.com/2016/01/bristol-palin-named-one-of-most-influential-conservatives-under-age-30.html

    The drunk left hooker with a passion for unprotected sex and brats out of wedlock is influential?

    That water-fountain cartoon is just wonderful.

    In a horrifying way.

  10. Yes Bitter Scribe, that’s what I was thinking, especially the Horrifying part. I listened to the Flint mayor, whose name I’ve forgotten, on the radio this evening. She said Flintstones (That’s what Flint citizens call themselves.), knew there was something wrong with the water immediately. It was brown, smelled funny, tasted bad, irritated their skin and made their clothes stiff. They told Gov. Snydley within a month of his cheap ass water switch.

    Shame, shame, shame on you, Gov Snydley and your filthy, disgusting, putrid cohort. Rot in the lowest reaches of hell.

    Best “toon” in a while: finally a government position Sarah Palin can fulfill: Secretary of Incoherence!

  12. M in El Paso, I have always held the belief that all candidates for guvmint jobs, especially at the top, have to pee in a bottle the minute their names go on a short or long list. I still firmly believe that the Sock Puppet should knock off the alcohol mixed with meth for breakfast. Those jerky arm movements are a dead giveaway for brain damage, let alone the word salad she keeps disgorging. This gal ain’t even smart enough to know that countless Republicans, especially vets, are outraged with her PTSD scam/son. If you check the records, the most dangerous thing he did while in uniform was to drive people around – he was a chauffeur. But leave it to SP to make sure her spawn never take responsibility for their actions.

    Track Palin has a long history of short fused temper.

    The temper was a longstanding problem. Hockey is a raw sport, but Mr. Palin pushed the limits and often got kicked out of games in Wasilla and at least once in Michigan… on the ice, he was an animal…

    “Track has a temper so sometimes you’d only see him half the game,” [longtime family friend Curt] Menard said. “Get there late and he’d already be out.”

    Sounds like ptsd was imbibed with mother’s sour milk.

    PKM: What you say is the heart and soul of Republican economic/business principles. They see “cost” as a thing to be defined and contained. And they define it in the narrowest of ways usually to the benefit of business.

    Do you know there’s a government recipe for ketchup? Yes, indeedy! If you want to manufacture ketchup you HAVE to follow the recipe. If you don’t then you can’t call it ketchup. Why? So the average consumer knows what they’re getting short of setting up a chem lab at home and testing everything they buy for quality. That’s why we have those pesky regulations which Republicans hate.

    Because Texas says regulating and safety inspecting fertilizer plants is an unnecessary “cost” to that business, the rules are lax. And then one blows up. Now we really see the “cost” don’t we? But now it’s a cost everyone pays in damaged property, medical expenses, government expense for cleanup and disaster aid, etc.

    But, when the average voter gets befuddled if there are more than two choices, the complexities of modern life are an impossibly confusing mystery.

    Read recently some young teen girl nearly died from toxic shock syndrome from a tampon. I thought that had been eradicated years ago? Did wingnuts roll back those regulations?

  16. e platypus onion says:

    On the brightside-if you remove the fed and EPA from the circle jerk you would have a totally wingnut run cluster-**** circle jerk.

    But that damn Obama pushed the fed’s nose under the tent and got America involved and now wingnuts feet will get held to the fire. Damn interventionist federal government.
